While Grade 1 winner Dullahan has never competed at Belmont Park and has yet
to win on dirt, trainer Dale Romans believes the colt will deliver a top
performance in the Belmont Stakes on June 9. If, in the process, the Even the
Score colt manages to spoil I'll Have Another's Triple Crown bid, Romans won't
feel any remorse.

Triple Crown hopeful I'll Have Another returned to the track for the first
time since Saturday's Preakness Stakes victory, jogging around Belmont Park's 1
1/2-mile oval Wednesday morning shortly after the renovation break with exercise
rider Hector Ramos aboard.

No factor in her only start this year, Aruna looks to get back on the beam for trainer Graham Motion in the $200,000 Sheepshead Bay Stakes (gr. IIT), scheduled for the inner turf course at Belmont Park May 26.

After producing convincing wins this winter in the Grade 2 Arcadia and Grade
2 Sir Beaufort, Mr. Commons was upset at odds-on in the Grade 1 Frank E. Kilroe

will look to rebound when he squares off against 10 rivals in Saturday's Grade
2, $150,000 <a target="_blank" href="http://www.brisnet.com/edgeped/american12">
American Handicap</a> at Hollywood Park.

A dull last of six in her season debut in the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley last month,
the five-year-old Aruna will attempt to rebound Saturday in the Grade 2,
$200,000
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.brisnet.com/edgeped/sheepsheadbay12">Sheepshead Bay</a> at Belmont Park. The 1 3/8-mile test is scheduled for
the grass, but the threat of persistent rain through the weekend has enticed
four main-track-only entrants into the field in addition to the 10 fillies and
mares in the main body of the race.

Among the list of current Acorn probables is Anita Ebert-Cauley's homebred filly On Fire Baby, who is looking to redeem a lackluster fifth-place effort in the May 4 Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) at Churchill Downs.
